SPECIAL CONSTABLE WANTED.

i SPECIAL. CONSTABLE WANTED.
A paper is being circulated petitioning the
Governor to appoint Deputy Sheriff Stevenson.
of Clinton. AS Special Constable to enforce the
liquor law. And the grounds upon which the |
petition is based are somewhat peculiar. AT
The southwest corner of the town Of Pittsfield,
and but short distance from Burnham village
the town of Clinton meets these two towns. A
road leads directly from the depot at Burnham
and with its branches passes through corners
of these towns, which are situated in three
different counties. Men have made it a rrac-
tice to have liquors come to Burnham because
of the facilities afforded there for Guiding the
officers. by lodging about on this road
through a very small territory an officer can
be cNaded with ease. and ii requires couvcn-
ton of officers, a. il were. to capture crimi-
nal of this kind. That is the form of the nui-
>ance 1T present. MI. stevenson IS a Wide
awake officer. and he is recommended by
prominent men in the three towns. We think
that lis existing circumst Apces>,lcmand such an
appointment, the Governor will do well to Sc
lect him. [pitt>!eId Advertiser.
ENFORCING THE PROHIBToRI LAW.
Governor Bodwcl has received replies from
about two-third> OF the County Attorneys anh1
>hcrils of the state in answer to the letters rel
aiiNc 20 the enforcement of the prohlbltory law
recently sent out. The replies have been very
encouraging. As a rule these officers express
their willingness and intention to enforce the
law. Tic Sheriff Of Hancock county writes
that Immediately on receipl of the Governors
letter he proceeded to close every rum shop IN
Ellsworth and should attend 10 other portions
Of the county. The Governor has also received
Il letter from an Ellsworth editor in which he
says the good effects Of the instructions to Han
cock county officers are already manifest. The
sheriff of Lincoln county reports that from the
best information he can obtain there are no
liquor saloons i'll The county. but he will short
ly take a trip over his territory and make
thOrOH4 Ii Illumination.
